I know it’s a novella, and therefore harder to set the scene and make the reader invested in the characters. But to me this book fell short in both of those respects.

I listened to this in one go so while I remember really liking it, right now I could not tell you why, who the characters were, etc. All I know is that there was a train platform on a Jupiter-like planet.

A good premise but bad execution. I think I would have liked this as a videogame?
